Question

Which sentence from the passage helps develop the main idea that a large, noisy family can be fun to be around?


“Jerome hesitantly reached out his hand, then Dylan followed his example.” (paragraph 12)


“Toddlers were crawling around and playing with toys . . .” (paragraph 14)


“…but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends.” (paragraph 15)


“ . . . Dylan was laughing and slapping his dominoes as though he had been playing for years . . . ” (paragraph 19)

Answer 1

“…but after the fourth handshake, they were talking with my aunts and uncles like old friends.” (paragraph 15)

Reason: It shows how welcoming and friendly the large family is, turning strangers into comfortable companions quickly — supporting the idea that a loud, big family can be fun to be around.
